My Favorite Puppy Training Tip

After my last post on 5 Easy Steps To House Training Your Puppy I wanted to give you a little piece of advice on training. I’ve heard lots of great advice from many different trainers, but this has to be my favorite training tip that I first heard at Sue Myles training class when Linus was a puppy. I also came across this tip again while reading through another great blog, The Days of Johann, an agility dog!

Unfortunately (for me) I had to use this training tip many times while raising Stetson and Linus.

My Favorite Puppy Training Tip

A rolled up newspaper can be an effective training tool when used properly. For instance, use the rolled-up newspaper if your dog chews something or has a housebreaking accident.

Take the rolled-up newspaper and hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase, “I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG, I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG.” If your dog laughs at you when you do this, praise him.

I wasn’t really sure where this training tip came from, but found the following reference on The Days of Johann, an agility dog! website:

My favorite part is “If your dog laughs at you when you do this, praise him.” Give the puppy below monster praise…I believe they call that ROFL – Rolling On the Floor Laughing!
